Question

Convert AS3 to AS2?

  • June 10, 2009

I completed a Flash drag and drop tutorial at http://monkeyflash.com/tutorials/flash-drag-and-drop.

I've made my own images and applied the scripting from the tutorial to my own drag and drop mini game. I want to embed the mini game in a PowerPoint 2007 presentation and then publish the presentation using Adobe Presenter 7.

The mini game I created doesn't work in the presentation published by Presenter 7 because the viewer.swf generated by Presenter is in ActionScript 2.0, while the mini game SWF is scripted in ActionScript 3.0.

How can I convert the script used in my mini game to ActionScript 2.0?

Thanks!

HI Every One !

i had the same issue when creating a SWF file using Captivate 5.5 and trying to publish using Presenter 7. noticed that Captivate 4 gives you the choice AS2 or AS3, then I realized that it's clearly in the presenter 7 help file that says " Presenter 7 DOES NOT Support AS3" . thank you.

there's no easy way.

you either must:

1.  pay someone to do it for you.

2.  learn as2 and do it yourself

3.  create a powerpoint presentation that can use as3

4.  don't use powerpoint.

For clarification:

An AS3.0 SWF works fine in PowerPoint.

I only have difficulty when I try to embedded an AS3.0 SWF into a PowerPoint 2007 presentation and publish the slideshow using the plugin "Adobe Presenter 7."

Presenter 7 exports slideshows and creates a viewer.swf to display the shows inside a webpage. The viewer.swf is scripted in AS2.0, so that's why the embedded AS3.0 SWF doesn't function inside the viewer.swf.

i've never used adobe presenter but it doesn't make sense for the latest version (7) would fail to support as3.  i see nothing about that limitation at

http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/presenter/7/Release_Notes_EN.pdf

and, in fact, because one of the following:

Additional Requirements
•
Flash Player 8, 9 for Win and Mac.
•
Flash Player 9 for Linux & Solaris.

i would infer it does support as3.
